Working Student Sales (Football) (All Genders)

Hey!

Imagine amateur football finally had the platform it deserves.
Every weekend, millions of people write their own personal football stories – on pitches, in clubs and on the sidelines. We believe this passion deserves a digital home too.
That's exactly what we're building every single day.

tl;dr

We’re looking for someone who loves picking up the phone and wins new amateur clubs across Germany for Prematch every week, bringing their teams and players with them.

Main information

• Start: Immediately (flexible)
• Location: Cologne or remote (Germany)
• Type: Working Student, 20h/ week, 15€/ h
• Team: Teamwear

• Target group: Bachelor or Master students
• Goal: Get to know the role & start-up life
• Responsibility: Support the daily business and gradually take on your own tasks & small projects

Is this a match?

The most important basics - so we both know if it could work.

• Location: You live in Cologne or anywhere else in Germany and work remotely - once a month you join us for our all-hands day at our Cologne office (Belgisches Viertel).
• Where you're at: You're enrolled at a university and can join us for 20 hours a week - no sales experience needed.
• Languages are no problem: You speak fluent German and good English.
• You know football: Amateur football isn't new to you - you've played yourself, are a club member or a fan with a real feel for what happens on and off the pitch.
• Startup spirit: You'd rather shape things than just tick boxes - even when that means figuring stuff out without a finished roadmap.

What you'll do - your playing field

This is how you move our mission forward every day.

• You're Prematch's voice on the phone. You call amateur football clubs across Germany and win them over for Prematch and our partner campaigns.
• You find the right people. Board, youth lead or coach - you quickly figure out who makes the calls at each club and lock in follow-ups.
• You own your call pipeline. You run your own weekly pipeline and hit the call and conversion targets we agree on together.
• You keep things clean. Every call, contact and outcome ends up neatly documented in the CRM.
• You bring the clubs' voice into the team. You share objections and learnings with Sales, so our pitch gets sharper every week.

• Research clubs and contacts and build call lists by region and league
• Help improve our call script and objection handling
• Support our partner campaigns with club outreach

What you bring to the team

We're not looking for a perfect CV. But you should recognise yourself in these points.

• Phone person: You've talked to lots of strangers before - at work, at your club or at events - and you enjoy it.
• Persistence: A no doesn't throw you off - you simply pick up the phone again.
• Club language: You've played, coached or helped run an amateur club and speak the clubs' language.
• Structure: You work in a structured way and document reliably, no reminders needed.
• Tools: Phone and video calls, Google Sheets / Excel, CRM (you'll learn it on the job)

• This is a phone job, not a social media or event role: most of your 20 hours are spent talking to clubs. If that gets you going, you'll feel right at home.
• Hearing no is part of the game - and 20 hours a week alongside your studies is a real commitment with clear weekly targets. In return, you see your impact every single week: in clubs won.

Bonus

Not a must - but this'll definitely earn you extra points.

• First experience in sales, a call centre or customer service
• A role at a club, e.g. board member, youth coach or team manager
• You know the German amateur football landscape (associations, leagues)

The Prematch Setup

We want you to love joining us - and still love being part of the team a long time from now.

• Employee participation (VSOP) - You benefit directly from the company's success.
• Modern tech setup - We provide the tools and devices you need to do your best work.
• AI-powered work - We use AI tools to work smarter and more efficiently, and provide you with the tools you need to make the most of AI in your day-to-day work.
• 27 days holiday per year - For proper rest and recharging. And if you're a parent, we have a special arrangement so you can balance family and time off even better.
• Remote work - You work remotely and join the team once a month for our All Hands Day.
• Offices in Cologne, Berlin, London + virtual - Whether Berlin, Cologne or London - you get to choose. And our virtual office keeps the whole team closely connected across locations. Fancy a change of scenery? Just work from one of our other offices for a bit.
• Work from anywhere - A week of sun abroad or a few days at the family's? No problem - you can work flexibly from outside your home base.
• Team events - Whether after-work in Cologne, Berlin or London: we bring our teams together regularly - to connect, hang out and grow even closer as a team.
• Offsites with the whole team - Four days away from the everyday with the whole team: travelling together, spinning ideas, working side by side and experiencing real team spirit.

Still here? Sounds like a pretty good match.

If you've made it this far, we hope we've managed to show you one thing: how we work, what we believe in and why this role at PREMATCH is something special.
Maybe this is exactly the moment you've been waiting for: a team that thinks big, a vision that actually moves things and the chance to help reshape amateur football digitally – together with us.
